Issue #12 - On Abundance Mindset and Trying Mushroom

Hello Cashflow Hackers,

Welcome to our new subscribers!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this Newsletter to you, it is so important for me to reflect on what I learned in business and life through writing this.

Please forward this newsletter to someone you think might enjoy reading this.

1. Build in Public - Mindset is everything (seriously)

“The average return of stock is 9.9% and for private equity investment is 14.2%. What does it mean? It means:

If you put 1M in stock market 35 years you will get 26M without you doing anything

If you put 1M in private equity, it’s worth 139M for the same 35 years period.”

- From Tony Robbins new book "The Holy Grail of Investing"

Real estate syndication is one form of private equity.

I know a lot of people are scared to death to put their self-directed IRA in real estate syndication for the first time. I was there myself in 2022.

Deep down, I fear of losing control. The stock market at least gives me a fake feeling of being in control. 😳

Deep down, I feel like I'm not good enough for making such good return by doing... nothing. 🥲

I was always taught to study hard and work hard and hustle or I'll be not successful and hence be worthless.

And I also know a lot of people once they invest in real estate syndication, they found that it's the best thing ever and they go on investing in 100 of them if they can especially the high net worth executives and doctors, lawyers, CPAs.

That's why the rich get richer. 💸

It's just a mindset problem.

When we're in scarcity, we fear of the unknown and resist to whatever seems too big and too good to be true and want control.

But you know who's in control? God - whatever God means for you. ❤️

I see my hustler friends are drown into the daily operation of their businesses whether it's Airbnbs, restaurants, shipping stores, nail salons or chicken farms.

I just want to help them to put their money into the best vehicles I found so even one day when they do not want to hustle anymore, they can have passive income coming in.

Nobody in my family was a millionaire. Until me. It's scary sh*t and it's quite a ride to get here.

But I did not give my abundance mindset and my power to dream and manifest enough credit. 🥹

When we were masterminding and creating our vision in Medellin last week, I suddenly remembered:

In 2007, I was living in a basement apartment near Incheon, Korea working for a cosmetic company right after I dropped out of my PhD. I was making less than $2000 a month so I rented the cheapest place that I could live in.

On a white board in that sh*tty apartment, I put out the dream of going to the US and become millionaire. 🤯

It's a crazy dream for a little girl growing up malnourished with muddy roads & dengue fever in the Mekong delta countryside.

And it's a big reminder for me when I set a new vision and new dreams last week.

I have to dream really big now, because my dreams will come true.

Being fund manager, using the right vehicles and my deep spiritual connection, my vision now is to generate massive wealth for myself and people around me so we can channel that wealth into giving back. 🚀 

The best thing is I don't have to do it alone anymore. I have a tribe to it with now. All of us are so excited about creating wealth and giving back to elevate humanity!

Thank you Liberating Humanity and Tim Mai for putting together the Re-birth retreat in Medellin Colombia, and I'm so grateful for every single brother and sister who was there with me!

Life will never be the same again. 🥳

Last week I also I spent 2 hours on a webinar to educate people who are curious about syndication using the current deal that I’m raising money for - The Milo Fund as an example.

2. Book corner

On the airplane flying to Colombia, I found a pdf in my Kindle it was there all the time from Mark Manson: On Self-Knowledge. It’s short and will give you some distilled lessons about self awareness. 🤗

There are 3 parts:

1. The 2 minds: the non-stop chattering mind and the observe mind

   (This concept is soooo important, it’s the basic idea of all awareness.)

2. Believe not what’s true, but what’s helpful 

   (You can read more the Helpful not True book from Derek Sivers.)

3. The prime belief

   (It’s about taking responsibility for your own thoughts and actions)

3. Experimenting

My new experience with psilocybin mushroom from the retreat in Colombia was something I can’t really explain or if I start I won’t be able to stop.

The “medicine” opened my heart, healed me with love and joy, and created such a big breakthrough for me. Maybe I’ll go on more details of what happened with me on the 2 days in the next issue. 😇

I’m also experimenting with direct-distribution business. 😱

A year ago if you tell me that one day I’ll think it’s so important for everyone to try mushroom in a safe and supported environment or I’ll eventually consider doing MLM, I’d say that you’re crazy. 😝

hat’s how much open my mind is right now.

Again please forward this newsletter to someone you think might enjoy reading this.

Cheers,

Sophie
